Netflix’s New #1 Is A Must-Watch For Thriller Fans (And You’ll Never Guess Its Ending)

by

Netflix offers a lot of excellent thriller shows, but one new series quickly became the most popular over the weekend. Psychological thrillers have become incredibly popular on streaming platforms, with services like Netflix and Prime Video releasing many twisty, unpredictable shows that combine mystery, horror, and psychological drama. Examples include Prime Video’s 56 Days and Netflix’s That Night.

Netflix’s new thriller, Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen, might not seem like a major release, but it quickly became the most-watched show upon its debut. With a strong 84% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it’s clear this isn’t just a momentary hit. The story centers on Rachel, played by Camilla Morrone, in the days leading up to her wedding to Nicky. The wedding is a small, private affair taking place at Nicky’s family’s isolated cabin in the snow.

Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen Is An Unpredictable New Psychological Thriller

Right from the start, the eight-episode series Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen keeps you guessing. The first episode feels like a classic psychological horror, similar to the unsettling road trip in the 2021 film I’m Thinking of Ending Things. But once Rachel and Nicky reach their destination, the show takes an unexpected turn, becoming strangely more subdued.

I was reading an interview with Haley Z. Boston, the creator of Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen, and she talked about how hard it was to nail the show’s vibe. Apparently, the first couple of episodes are really jumpy and scary, but then it changes. And honestly, she’s right! As the show goes on, it becomes less about straight-up horror and more like a really dark, funny family drama. It’s a weird mix, but it totally works!

Like many great psychological thrillers, “Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen” keeps viewers guessing. Just when it seems the strange and scary things are all in the main character Rachel’s imagination, the show proves that some of it is actually happening. But then, when you think you’ve figured out she’s in real danger and needs to escape, the show surprises you again with a harmless explanation for the latest scare.

Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen’s Ending Is A Killer Twist

Netflix’s Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen is one of their most disturbing thrillers in years, bordering on horror. The series continually hints at revealing the source of its growing tension, but each episode only deepens the mystery and makes the plot more confusing.

All the intricate plotting would have been pointless if the show hadn’t delivered a satisfying conclusion. Thankfully, from the creators of Stranger Things, the series ends with a twist that’s both surprising and feels like it was always meant to happen. It’s hard to stick the landing after building up so much suspense, but this new Netflix thriller manages to wrap up its scary story perfectly.
